WE'RE ON THE NEXT 100 DAYS PODCAST - LISTEN NOW!
We're excited to share that Ingenion Medical's CEO, Ed Cappabianca, recently joined hosts Kevin Appleby and Graham Arrowsmith on episode #519 of The Next 100 Days Podcast…and we think that it's well worth a listen!
A Fundamental Problem
The conversation covers the fundamental problem at the heart of what we do: the catheter options currently available are not sufficient for modern day living. For example, the Foley catheter is considered the standard of care yet has barely changed in 90+ years, and are a part of catheter-associated urinary infections that continue to claim thousands of lives and consume over a million NHS bed-days every year. In this episode, Ed walks through exactly why the status quo is no longer good enough, and how cymactive™ is providing a different solution for men experiencing chronic urinary retention.
You'll hear how our patented magnetic valve technology gives patients genuine control over their own voiding, without external bags or tubes, and why the NHS created an entirely new procurement framework agreement just to accommodate it. Ed also discusses our clinical traction across multiple international markets and the road ahead as we scale.
A Clear Path to Success
Ed commented: “It was a genuine pleasure to sit down with Kevin and Graham on The Next 100 Days Podcast. These conversations matter to me because quality of life impacted by the lack of catheter options are not an abstract statistic - they represent real people whose lives are being disrupted by a device that simply hasn't kept pace with modern medicine.
“I'm proud of what the team at Ingenion has built with cymactive™, and I hope this episode helps more clinicians, patients, and supporters understand both the scale of the problem and the solution we've developed.
“It also came at a pivotal moment for the company, with a freshly signed NHS Supply Chain framework agreement, clinical use across different countries, and a clear path to success, there's never been a better time to share our story. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did recording it!”
